Train operators plan to make 2,300 redundancies if ticket offices close.
What's more, once they've closed, the only statutory arrangement for regulating staffing at stations also goes.
This is why we must #SaveTicketOffices

Let me break down for you the current rail dispute between the @RMTUnion and Network Rail and the 14 other train operating companies.
The following tweets will contain information that the media and the politicians are conveniently not telling you.
Have a read. A THREAD! 🧵
Soo there we have it..@RMTunion Mick Lynch was telling the truth. @BenPBradshaw grilling the Minister.
The government don't want a deal. The government want strikes.
The government are corrupt in almost everything they do.
'I've had enough now.'
James O'Brien is absolutely fed up of people blaming the RMT for the UK's 'joke' railways as they're being treated as 'cash cows' by private investors including foreign governments.
@mrjamesob
"It is the most perverse and corrupt rail system we've ever had in existence."
Angry about #RailStrikes? You should be. Taxpayer money is being used to pay train operators not to run trains.
@RMTunion Mick Lynch dropping some truth bombs 💣 to #Peston
RMT picket line 9am Wednesday the strike continues, they are proposing to close all ticket offices, making unstaffed stations, plus a cut to 2,500 maintenance staff, it's not just about pay.
Tory cabinet ministers are considering strike action until they are guaranteed that they won’t be put on TV against Mick Lynch.
This is arse on a silver platter stuff. Must watch!
Rail companies in the UK have made massive profits, taken government bailouts, given an unreliable service to the public and fares are a complete joke.
Governments response? Attack the workers.
RT if you back the RMT members balloting for strike action to defend themselves.
Always wonder how these people who win cash giveaways stay so calm. Some woman has just won 77 grand there and was calm as fuck. I’d be running down the street screaming, swinging by bills round my head if that was me
